This is a story about men and horses
The path taken to design a hotel started by creating an imaginative narrative about a society that loves horses and activities associated with equestrian sport and rest. A small narrative world was set up.
What are the relations between people and the main "ingredient" of the project the horses? How to create new borders between spaces for men and horses? A glass cube allows a horse to become part of the interior space. Such closeness between human and animal can be found in traditional mountain dwellings of Georgia.
Another idea was to rethink the traditional semantics of forms. Thus a stair itself becomes a small house retaining part of its original meaning.
